What an interesting concept might I add. Seems as if Kanye’s porn influences are seeping into his creative vision. Nothing wrong with that because I, too, envision carnal notions when I’m @ work Xeroxing shit.

i’m wondering if this is the real deal. it’s only 2:53 and the track on the album is 3:57. such an abrupt ending.

The video is a hodgepodge of sex appeal, brashness, grace and humorous storytelling. Basically, the short revolves around a lady taking out her frustrations on a bound-and-gagged West in the harshest way.

Let’s just say that in the part where Kanye raps about his girl saying, “Where are you, Yeezy?,” he apparently didn’t have a good enough answer.

“The video is f—ing incredible!” Nas said. “Nobody wants to be different. Everybody wants to be the same, and Kanye always comes with some other sh–. He’s not afraid to be different.”

anybody heard anything about this new souls of mischief thats supposedly coming out this year?

2 things:

1 – What the hell was blurred out?

2 – For that shovel to fit in the trunk of that car, the rear seat had to have been folded down. He would have easily been able to get out.

Colin Monroe’s > Kanye’s

As someone said earlier they tried too hard with this video. I hope it isn’t the final cut. And that gal is BAD!!!! I don’t know her past but she has a BOOTYFUL FUTURE behind her. And she is TOP heavy!!!!

I thought that shit was pretty cool – Kanye lifting concepts isn’t all that immoral, I think that he’s the kind of guy who studies music like people do literature and visual art. So when he see a particularly stirring video, he takes the idea as a nod to them. He’s never been shy about the fact that he went and found Justice’s director after they got him in the VMAs, and I’m sure if questioned, he’d say the same for whatever British video concept he lifted.

This video is dope, the chick is mad hot, the rhythm is cool, and it doesn’t rely on shot-cuts to keep in step with the song. That’s something drastically different, the average length of any shot in a music video is what, like 2 seconds? That shit sucks. Kanye is the truth, fuck the haters, lol.

Anytime the video is a contiuation of another video you got me. SInce I’m at work I can also vouch for the fact that the video stands up very well with no sound.

Way to go Rita G!

Be Lund… This is why we run shit. I couldn’t have put that shit better myself. Fuck the haters. Kanye is on some next level shit waiting for people to catch up. Call it stealing, call it sampling, call it what you want… He takes what inspires him and runs with it. He gives credit where credit is due, and they say that the greatest form of flattery in imitation. But to call what Kanye does mere imitation is blasphemous.
I’ll take this over quick cuts of throwing money and fat muhfuckas like Rick Ross jumping off bridges and shit (knowing good and cotdamn well he would never clear that ledge), any day. Count ‘em, there are only two cuts in this video. Definitely something cinematic about this. When the haters get the gall to step up and go against the grain and do something completely different and original, then I’ll listen. Find me something that wasn’t inspired by something else, then I’ll pay attention. Until then, ya’lls shit is background and fading like Connie Mitchell.

i love kanye but i honestly didn’t get it. what’s with the naked chick? and the trunk? and what the hell does that have to do with the song? the song is great, why the shitty video?

replying to her… i did some research at it’s take that’s cover of the beegees ‘how deep is your love’ you can see it on youtube… take that is the group robbie williams used to be in… the video is the same concept (watch the ending) but could be coincidence.. i like the kanye video more

her name is rita g. she has been on playboys top 100 2 years strong …

I like the song, but when i watched the video on Global Grind I was confused. I thought that maybe there was more to it so I tried to search around for another version, but I guess thats it.

02.14.08 at 4:06 pm

I LOVE THIS VID, I THINK KANYE MUST HAVE DID HER WRONG OR THERE’S NO MORE MONEY. THAT WILL MAKE A FEMALE TRIP, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING BE4 IT OR AFTER IT. NO MATTER WAT I STILL LOVE IT…I LOVE KANYE

02.14.08 at 4:37 pm

Ye was an art student while in school so this doesnt surprise me @ all. the concept is sexy. the song is hot. stop hating. get money.

02.15.08 at 1:57 pm

I like the concept but I just expected the video to be better than this. Please let this be a teaser

02.16.08 at 8:00 am

Al

please dont tell me this is the actual video. im oviously missing something, i didnt see any relevance in it at all.

02.21.08 at 2:29 am

doh

its called a music video, not just a video, this music video reflects the song in its entirely. LISTEN TO THE LYRICS!!!!

03.14.08 at 9:38 pm

Ty

I think this video is outside the norm, well shot, and completely relevant to the song. A lot of people keep commenting on how short it is, when it may have been ruined if it were stretched just to fit the time. It’s very dramatic, and the ending is jarring and abrupt to say the least. It’s that shock he’s trying to convey, and as he’s telling the story the video ends when he does. People shouldn’t dismiss something just because they’re not used to it. To those of you that are too busy saying wtf and ONLY see a fat ass, watch it again…and think.

Right on, Ty. This vid makes sense if you listen to the lyrics and think about why she’d be killing him. I didn’t think it was especially amazing, but at least it wasn’t the same old shit we always see.

04.19.08 at 1:15 pm

Oh and also, the thing that was blurred out wasn’t lighter fluid – it was a bottle of alcohol.
